It was a lovely afternoon for Marr’s first away game of the season against Doon Academy. The team was in high spirits on the long bus journey to Dalmellington.
The game kicked off with half an hour to be played in each half. As a result of some battling play by the home side they were shortly 1 goal up within the first 7 minutes. This did not deter the Marr boys though, and within a minute of conceding they found themselves level through a well hit shot by Craig.
4 minutes later and Marr had doubled their scoring for the afternoon, making the score 2-1. After striking the crossbar with a good free kick that forced a save from Doon's keeper, Marr’s No.11 was on hand to turn the ball over the line for the visitors. Unfortunately the boys were not able to hold on to the lead for long though, with the home side ensuring the first half ended with the two teams tied at 2-2.
Not long into the second half and the home side find themselves ahead once more. The Marr boys yet again were not to be deterred by this and showed great determination to eventually go on and win the game. Ten minutes into the second half Reid manages to squeeze the ball between the Doon keeper and his near post after some impressive, if not lucky, dribbling past the Doon players within their own box.
Not long after Marr win a corner which was well hit, forcing the Doon keeper into making a mistake which allowed McInness to tap the ball across the line giving Marr the one goal lead going into the last five minutes of the game. The boys held out and the hard fought victory brought the team their third consecutive victory this season.
Well done everyone!!
